Welcome to the official website of our theatre group Prosopon et Ius, based in the Andean city of Mérida, Venezuela.
Prosopon et Ius (a Latin name meaning ‘path of the masks’) has been presenting classicals plays without interruption since 1990. We work mostly with the greatest authors of tragedies and comedies: William Shakespeare, Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. Click here to see a complete list of the plays we did throughout our history.
As a troupe with quite some experience, we’ve developed a particular acting method, involving nudity. We explain why and how we work in a series of articles. You can catch a glimpse of some of our plays in the video section.
The information on this webpage is entirely in Spanish, but you can always write any question or commentary in English or French to simon.horsten@gmail.com . We’ll send you an answer as soon as possible.
Enjoy your passage through this website. We hope to see you in one of our presentations!
Kind regards,
The members of Prosopon et Ius.
